The verdict

What the analysis sees

Pontevedra has 946,225 residents, an average gross household income of €27,559 a year, an approximate unemployment rate of 11% (above the Spanish average). These are signals of how deep housing demand runs, not of the risk of any one tenant.

The market

What it costs and what it earns

How this page is calculated

Where each figure comes from, over which territory and from what date. Confidence measures data coverage, never investment quality.

Data coverage

100/100

  • official rent series (SERPAVI) 5 of 61
  • series sufficient to measure momentum 61 of 61
  • official appraised value (MIVAU) 6 of 61
  • estimated market level 60 of 61
